I brought it up as a shittier movie than the emoji movie since you went all in on the hyperbole.

No one would follow it the way you meant. Literally no one. But by all means, please be done.

love the show, but losing peter gregory and now bachman it cant last much longer.

now they have to pump gavin belson up now and that will get old quick on it's own.

gonna need some new mike judge inspired comedy blood or the show wont make it to 6 seasons IMO..

Huge fan of the show btw.

Wonder how they will handle his house, which is basically the main set piece for the entire show?

He is actually a pretty good actor

Has more of a strong personality and voice though. He is hilarious as the phlegm in the Mucinex commercials and I want to say that Comedy Central just gave him his own series where he is some type of monster that has a tonight show feel to it (interview people and whatnot)

Sad to see him go though. Jian Yang might lose screen time as well. The writer's don't incorporate him unless TJ's character is in the scene.

I actually thought what he was saying was pretty straight forward

Anyway, this is a huge blow to the show. I hate to hear it.

I'll still watch to the end regardless.

I'm not surprised; this has been a rumor for a few months now and it's now confirmed.

I'm thinking it's because of TJ trying to do his own stand up and having roles in movies like Deadpool.

He is definitely one of the 4 main characters. Has there been an episode that he hasn't been in? I don't think so. He is usually at the center of the main plot points and most of the bigger side plots are about him. The only character who has a bigger role in the actual plot has been Richard, and Richard isn't as strong of a comedic character as Erlich.




I think it is debatable after Richard (who is the lead by default or genius). The other three characters (other than Bachman) are at least no less important than him.

Most of the Bachman character's actions are completely replaceable by other characters. In a normal setting he would really stand out next to the crowd but Big Head is more clueless, the featured CEOs are more capricious and egomaniacal, and he brings no more content to the company than Big Head.

He's a fun character but you could easily imagine either Jin Yang or Big Head serving the same plot devices. Gavin, Laurie, or Jack Barker could reappear to do much of the same kind of sabotage that Bachman often incurred by accident. Don't get me wrong. I enjoy Miller on the show, but he's going to do more movies and other comedy instead of Silicon Valley, not disappear from American media outlets.

The big question is, can you show make the transition from incubator to hatchling?

After he explained it for the third time, maybe.

But if you read the posts in order, his first two replies make no sense.

Which is why you have 11 downvotes on this page, and not one of them is from me.

I would love it if Gavin returned in the finale or season premiere as a focused member of the team and took them all the way to the top in a final season.

He apparently isn't getting his fill of pointless, grating arguments on the OT, so he felt the need to bring his shtick over to the M/TV board.
